Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to trying the mode out. But it seems like it heavily incentivizes splatting opposing players and in generally being really aggressive. Admittedly the description in today's tweet is a little vague. It says "Fizzbangs can be obtained every time you land on the map and defeat an opponent." However accompanying gameplay video mostly shows players obtaining them by getting splats. Not sure what the "...land on the map..." part means but according to Inkipedia you also get them when you respawn (not sure what their source is though) so I guess that even things out a bit. Still...correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the first time the game has given an explicit reward for splatting other players (other than that it removes them from play for a time).
It's hard to tell for sure until it comes out but Fizzbangs seems to be even more...I hate this word but I can't think of a better one..."sweaty" than normal Turf War. And for a lot of us that's great. But it's not uncommon (especially after Splatfests) to hear some folks complain about how "hardcore players take this casual game too seriously". I kind of suspect that for those folks (who are presumably more likely to return to the game during Splatfests) this mode might not feel that great.
